Here’s what stood out from Day 17 of Dallas Cowboys’ training camp practice Thursday in Oxnard, Calif.:

• The Dallas Cowboys’ last evening practice of training camp was uneventful for the most part because the players didn’t wear pads and were only shells and helmets.

• The Cowboys practiced in fog the last hour, finishing up with a lot of scout team work to get ready for Saturday afternoon’s preseason game at Arizona.

• David Arkin was back working at first-team left guard and Dennis Godfrey worked at second-team left guard.

• Chris Harrison, the longtime host of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, and The Bachelorette star Jef Holm was at practice.

• WR Miles Austin caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Tony Romo in team drills. On the play, Austin and WR Dez Bryant were both in the left side of the end zone.

• Rookie CB B.W. Webb jumped in the air at the line of scrimmage to knock down a pass by Kyle Orton to the left side.

• RB Lance Dunbar had a big gain on a run to the left side for about 9 yards in team drills. He continues to show great burst to get through holes into the secondary.

• WR Anthony Armstrong made a one-handed catch on a fade pass to the right corner of the end zone from QB Kyle Orton but he was ruled out of bounds.

Two plays later, Harris was open on an out route to the left side for a 2-yard touchdown catch from Orton. Rookie CB B.W. Webb was late getting over to cover Harris.
